Creating a New Virtual Folder
Virtual folders reference physical folders on a computer's hard drive. Similar to a Windows shortcut, a virtual folder is only an alias for the real folder. When you create a virtual folder, you do not have to give it the same name as the folder it references. You cannot change the name of a virtual folder, but you can delete the virtual folder and then re-create it with a new name.

In the administration interface, connect to EFT and click the VFS tab.
